A super great writer in the second dimension

　The movie had ended, the credits were rolling, and people began to leave. Kasumigaoka Utaha patted Sanzenin Arashi on the shoulder: "Actually, I wasn't in a rush to know, but Arashi-kun scared me today, so I suddenly became curious."

　"I'll wait for you outside." After saying that, she stood up and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

　Sanzenin Arashi didn't see that the girl's face was as red as if it had been smeared with red paint.

　They didn't hear the girl muttering incomprehensible things.

　Sanzenin Arashi rubbed his temples and stood up. It seemed he had gone too far today.

　Even an ordinary girl would react strongly if a finger were suddenly put in her mouth.

　Moreover, Arashi Sanzenin and Utaha Kasumigaoka have a relatively high affection level, falling somewhere between friends and lovers. Who knows if this sudden, random flag will actually increase their affection or just kill the flag altogether?

　"Who's afraid of who... I'll just take you to a hotel room today!"

　Sanzenin Arashi thought viciously.

　..

93. Shall we go?

　Arashi Sanzenin stood at the entrance of the movie theater.

　In Japan, the nighttime is the golden hour for the entertainment industry. Luxury brand stores are deserted, but Chanel and LV stores are packed with people. Many people don't buy anything; bags costing hundreds of thousands of yen aren't something you can just buy on a whim, but there's nothing wrong with just looking.

　Looking at the endless stream of people, Sanzenin Arashi knew that the physical goods industry had actually been declining recently.

　As for why.

　This is the night market in the heart of Tokyo, next to Ginza. It's usually packed with people, but now it's just a little more crowded.

　Why is the population decreasing?

　Of course, there have been more layoffs recently. 80% of the employees in Japanese companies are young people, and they are the first to be laid off. Middle-aged people have already reached the management level, so they can't be dismissed just like that.

　So now the question is, are young people or middle-aged people the ones who enjoy visiting night markets the most?

　Of course, the former is better!

　So while the night market looks bustling now, it has actually shrunk considerably. We'll see when the Japanese government releases its GDP figures at the end of the year; it will definitely decline.

　It's not just Japan; any capitalist country can never escape the fate of a financial crisis.

　History has laid bare stark examples, demonstrating that financial crises are an inevitable trend in capitalist societies. At this point, referring to history will show us how to resolve them.

　World War I broke out during a financial crisis.

　Before the outbreak of World War II, Germany was in a period of great economic depression!

　Therefore, Hitler could persuade the people. The people who couldn't afford to eat, coupled with the Führer's impassioned speeches and a sense of racial honor, led to the outbreak of war.

　Outflow is a way to solve economic depression.

　War is the ultimate form of outflow!

　The decline of physical real estate is an inevitable trend, and at this time, the virtual industry will rise.

　Sanzenin Arashi's chance to realize his grand ambitions lies here, and he has already begun preparations a year in advance.

　By the time the economic winds blow across the world, all the capitalists will realize what's happening, and it will be too late.

　Even a year in advance, Sanzenin Arashi felt that her time was running out.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha stood in front of a Häagen-Dazs ice cream shop. Normally, you even have to take a number to get in, but now there were several empty seats. Although there were many people outside, most of them were short of money and couldn't afford to spend money on anything other than their three meals a day.

　A company that's about to go bankrupt must not have paid salaries for several months. Most office workers live paycheck to paycheck, so where would they get the money to buy ice cream? It's still autumn.

　The shop was nicely decorated. Sanzenin Arashi walked over, stood in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, and smiled apologetically at her.

　"Shall we go inside and get something to eat first?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded: "I'll forgive you this time, but there won't be a next time."

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled slightly, her mind going a little overheated.

　Let me think... let me think.

　What does "no next time" mean?

　I want to do more intimate things with you; this is just the beginning!

　Yes, I'm the one who can't let go of things!

　There's no need to deliberately maintain distance, and there's nothing to worry about regarding the old man's affairs. As for that fiancé...

　Damn it! I'll just treat her like she's invisible!

　Now, sorry, but I'm about to go.

　Sanzenin Arashi stood still, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, then took a deep breath, "Come with me!"

　"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback, but Sanzenin Arashi grabbed her hand and dragged her to the side without saying a word.

　Although the girl was puzzled, she did not resist.

　Upon seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha without resistance, Sanzenin Arashi felt as if someone had given her a push from behind, and an impulse surged into her heart.

　I had some doubts: Was I being too irrational?

　Every time I spend time with Kasumigaoka Utaha, half of the rational Sanzenin Arashi disappears, and the other half is thrown into Java.

　Sanzenin Arashi pulled the girl along, walking ahead of her.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't see his face, but Sanzenin Arashi knew that he was practically glowing with health!

　I don't care about all that.

　Why do I care about what the old man says? What does it mean to me? Is this woman important?

　Sanzenin Arashi asked herself the question, and finally got the answer.

　The surrounding scenery transitioned from bustling to ordinary, and then gradually became deserted, with hardly any people left. We had already walked quite a distance from the center of Tokyo to the side.

　Arashi Sanzenin led Kasumigaoka Utaha into the passageway between the high-rise buildings. After looking around, they felt the atmosphere was quite nice, with a sense of mystery and a touch of French romance.

　"Where are you taking me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha sensed something was wrong.

　Because the person in front of me seems a bit abnormal.

　His behavior was very different from usual, yet it had a familiar feel to it.

　Sanzenin Arashi stopped and looked around.

　There were no shops around, just a narrow passageway. The external lights scattered in, barely enough to see the ground. Kasumigaoka Utaha's wine-red eyes looked exceptionally beautiful in this light.

　Let me think... what should I do now?

　Sanzenin Arashi touched her face and gritted her teeth. This was the first time in her life that she had done this, so she was a little nervous and also quite embarrassed.

　Inhale! Turn around! Stretch your hand forward and clap!

　Pinch Kasumigaoka Utaha against the wall!

　Sanzenin Arashi wasn't sure if his gaze could be considered domineering, but he saw a hint of panic in the girl's eyes, and also... a touch of excitement!

　She seemed to be waiting for me to speak, to say something she wanted to hear!

　Sanzenin Arashi said, "Before, I was afraid of others, which is why I made you wait for these words for so long."

　Kasumigaoka Utaha made a strange sound, but her gaze remained fixed on Sanzenin Arashi.

　Sanzenin Arashi raised her voice: "I've had enough of that kind of relationship. I love you, Utaha..."

　Sanzenin Arashi suddenly stopped, then suddenly remembered the line from the beginning of the movie, and started shouting: "Want to go out tonight?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha's face had been flushed the whole time, and after hearing those words...

　"Haa... Fum..."

　She made a very cute sound.

　..

94. Everything is understood without words.

　Sanzenin Arashi stood there, waiting for Kasumigaoka Utaha's reply. He found himself becoming uneasy. The impulsive feeling he had before had completely disappeared. Sure enough, once he expressed his feelings, his mind cooled down. He no longer had that confident feeling, nor was his impulsiveness. All that was left was a feeling of unease that made him unable to eat or sleep.

　Time seemed to flow very slowly.

　As time passed, Sanzenin Arashi's breathing became heavier, while Kasumigaoka Utaha kept her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

　Unease, trepidation, and dozens of other emotions mingled together in her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Sanzenin Arashi simply sighed, put her hands in her pockets, and started tapping on her phone.

　Every now and then, one or two people would pass by, probably taking a shortcut by walking through the gap between the buildings. They all cast questioning glances at Sanzenin Arashi. Two extremely good-looking people were standing on the roadside, staging a scene that looked like a chaotic battle. However, they were worried about getting into trouble, so they didn't stop to watch.

　Five minutes felt like a year to Sanzenin Arashi.

　Then Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and extended her hand.

　Arashi Sanzenin felt as if a death row inmate had suddenly been pardoned, his whole body filled with a sense of relief. He couldn't help but hug Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the girl also reached her hand over his waist, and the two stood there embracing each other.

　At this moment, he felt a strange mix of emotions.

　The pent-up feeling from before still lingered in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by another feeling called "happiness". The combination of the two was so intense that he felt like he was ascending to heaven. For the first time in his life, Sanzenin Arashi experienced this unforgettable feeling, and for a moment he couldn't even utter a single word.

　It turns out that the feeling of being recognized is so wonderful.

　Feeling the warmth of the person in his arms, his nose buried in her hair, Kasumigaoka Utaha's curvaceous figure was fully experienced by Sanzenin Arashi.

　"Do you know why I agreed to your request?" The girl hugged Sanzenin Arashi and said, "You've been breaking the rules from the very beginning. At first, I was just curious about what kind of person you were. With that expectation, you actually gradually revealed yourself to me. In fact, until last week, I had no idea what our relationship was."

　As Sanzenin Arashi listened to the girl's detailed explanation, he also found it incredible.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha could always say that she only considered herself a friend, but one night she sat in front of the computer for several hours in a daze and realized that she actually liked Sanzenin Arashi.

　He had been smitten with the girl ever since that night when Ulrika chased him. No wonder the relationship between men and women is so complicated now. It seems that they are not even the same kind of beings. Men and women are simply different species.

　Arashi Sanzenin was also glad that he had fallen for her that day, otherwise none of those things would have happened, let alone that they would have agreed to watch a movie together today, and that he would have impulsively confessed his feelings after watching the movie.

　Sanzenin Arashi gave a wry smile.

　This is truly a Sylvie-esque romance. The background parameters unknowingly reached the rated value, and Sanzenin Arashi was completely bewitched. Then, like a slave girl triggering a dramatic event, he suddenly dragged the girl and ran for miles, confessing his love in this secluded corner.

　Looking back now, it was really exciting.

　Her stomach rumbled loudly, much to her dismay. Sanzenin Arashi released Kasumigaoka Utaha from her arms and said with a smile, "Let's go get something to eat."

　As they walked hand in hand with the girl through the streets of Tokyo, the number of pedestrians around them gradually increased. Everything seemed to rewind, and the two returned to the Häagen-Dazs store. They stood where Kasumigaoka Utaha had been waiting for Sanzenin Arashi. Their eyes met, and they walked into the ice cream shop hand in hand.

　Picking up the menu, Kasumigaoka Utaha ordered several desserts, and after putting the menu down...

　The two, who had just confirmed their relationship, seemed a little lost when they sat at the same table.

　Normally, it's easy to strike up a conversation, but now it feels like there's a thin veil between us.

　Kasumigaoka Utaha is very nervous right now.

　After confirming a romantic relationship, physical needs will naturally arise. This is an inevitable part of human reproduction. It's not like Plato's morbid and spiritual love. It's normal to have such needs. However, because she was too concerned about this, she kept staring at Sanzenin Arashi while holding the menu.

　Instead of looking at his face, I was staring at his upper body from the neck down.

　Before Kasumigaoka Utaha could speak, Sanzenin Arashi asked, "Do you have something planned for tonight?"

　Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly felt a jolt.

　I was just thinking about this, and it was brought up again so suddenly, but... that's exactly what I meant, right?

　Just now, Sanzenin Arashi was thinking about this issue. Since he had set up his own studio, it was necessary to let his girlfriend, Kasumigaoka Utaha, know about it. Even though they were already boyfriend and girlfriend, he couldn't keep it a secret, could he?

　Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment, seemingly struggling with her thoughts, before finally sighing, "I don't have anything important to do tonight, so I'll leave the arrangements to you."

　It really took a lot of effort to say those words.

　As she was about to embark on an important journey as a woman, Kasumigaoka Utaha was filled with emotion. She lowered her head and began to devour the dessert in front of her, as if the food could temporarily distract her from these thoughts.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and began to eat. Things had gone very smoothly today, and he was very happy.

　The Häagen-Dazs was nicely decorated, and this seat was by the window, offering a wide view that lifted his spirits considerably. The stuffy feeling he had felt earlier disappeared, and watching the girl in front of him eat her food in small bites, Sanzenin Arashi felt like he was having a meal with his family, a warm atmosphere filling his heart.

　And I'll also introduce my companion to her later.

　I believe that the people in my studio will be of great help to Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel writing.

　After nervously finishing her dessert, the girl wondered what else awaited her.
